Foolish. if Smart.

SALT LAKE CITY, March, 25th, 1897.
To the Editor of THE HERALD.
At the G. A. r. campfire at the
Walker Opera House on the 23d, Mr..
E. H. Murray is reported as having
said that "any man who wanted to be
an American was his friend; no man
who did not want to be an American
could be his friend. On that broad
platform all could unite"
Now Mr.. Murray may consider that
very smart, but to me It appears very
ridiculous. According to that doctrine,
if man is German, or Frenchmsn,
or an Englishman, for instance, no
matter how excellent man he may be,
if he don't want to become an Amer
lean, he can't be entered on Mr.. Muir
rays list of friends. not that either the
German, or Frenchman,- or Englishman
would care a copper about that, but
Mr.. Murray evidently would.
Carrying Mr.. MurraY's rule further,
the German, or Frenchman, or Eng
lishman, if one could be found foolish
enough, might say that any man who
did not want to be German, or
Frenchman, or an Englishman, re-
spectively, could not be one of his
friends:
Alittle further and the man of dem
Ocratic prOclivities might say that any
man who did not want TO be Demo-
crat, could not be one of his friends.
Vice Vers1, the Republican might have
his say in like manner. Radicals and
conservatives. capitalists and Knights
OF Labor might announce on the same
narrow lines.
The rule would work as charmingly
in religion as in nationality or IN poll
tics. A Roman Catholic, Methodist or
g Baptist might say the man who did
not want to be Catholic or Methodist
or Baptist, respectively, could not be
his friend. And so things might go on,
in the narrowest sectionaiism, each
man adding as a clincher, "0n that
broad platform all could unite"
But what bosh that would be. The
fact is, all such narrow minded express
sions are the evidence and the delight
of small souls, and it would be much
nearer the truth to say that on such a
bigoted platform none could unite.
On his broad platform" Mr.. Murray
would not be eligible for enrolment on
even his own list of friends. For to
many people il is patent that there is
very little that is truly American about
him, except the matter of his nativity,
and, furthermore, that he does not so
much as want to be genuine American
to any alarming extent.
Meantime, il is curious thing that
there are SO many people in the world
who can't be smart without being silly.

PROVO POINTS.
Continuation OF the Lynching Case.
Other Notes.

The investigation into the killing OF
Fisher at Tintic, last July, was con
tinued before Judge Henderson, at
Provo, yesterday, the defense introduc-
ing Barney Hughes, who had been
taken down from this County il to
testify.
His testimony was in substance as
follows: Was at Eureka last July :;
went there on the 5sh; was near the
Jail during the evening of the 9th; was
near by when Fisher was taken out ::
was about fifty feet away, on the south
side of the jail; saw Daniel Shields there
minute or two after Fisher was
taken out; he was going down toward
town; he was going on fast walk; l
did not speak to him never had an ac-
ouaintance with him before: the body
Of men were going up towards the hill
when saw Shields; | was acquainted
with none there but Joe Murphy ;
know it was Shields; saw him the
morning before.
Mr.. ETHER was recalled. He said he
had a conversation with Barney
Hughes; l said there were three or four
bows that would like to prove an alibi,
and | wonld like to get the turn on
them, but we have not very much tes-
timony. Hughes said, my testimony
is not enough to help you"
Odd he not say TO you that he
would like to have you cinch them if
they were guilty, and that he did not
know them? and cid you not say that
you would identify them for him?
A Something to that effect.
BARNEY HUGHEs was recalled. and
testified that the conversation was to
that effect.
The defense then rested, with the ex-
ception of two witnesses.
Mr.. STANLEY was called, on rebuttal.
His testimony was objected to by the
defense and the objection was sustained.
This closed the evidence of the de-
tense, except two impeaching witnesses,
who had not yet arrived, and they
rested in this long and hard-contested
case.
Messrs. Thurman and Sutherland
have worked indefatigablv for their side
and made every point count in the con-
test, and it begins tn appear that they
have not worked in vain but have made
fair showing.

The Yachts.

BosToN, March 25.-The steamer
Kansas, which arrived from Liverpool,
to-day, reports, March 10th, 1880 miles
east of Sandy Hook, that she signalled
an American yacht, which, as near as
could be distinguished, showed the
letters R. D. ]. B., bound east. The
vessel signalled was without doubt the
yacht COrOnet, whose letters are K. o.
q. B., which may easily be mistaken for
the letters given by the Kansas; The
yacht was making good speed. with
strong westerly winds. She had her
storm trysail and foresail reefed. her
main boom and gaff lowered and dashed
to the taffrails. She had evidently ex-
perienced heavy gale the day previous,
and there was a heavy sea running at
the time of speaking. On the 10Th the
weather became more moderate and
settled to brisk westerly breeze. All
on board the yacht were reported well.

Being Accused of Betrsying Friends

WON'T RUN
Carter Harrison Again Declines the
Democratic domination.

CHICAGO, March 25.-Mayor Carter
H. Harrison has again declined the
nomination for Mayor of Chicago, and
this time declares that his decision is
final. He sent out note to the Dem
ocratic city central committee for a
special meeting, this afternoon, when
heread prepared letter, outlining his
purpose and the reasons which actu-
ated him to this course.
HE OPENLY DECLARES
that he has been opposed by represen-
tatives of the administration at Wash
ington, and has also been charged with
treachery to political friends, and for
these reasons he would not be
didate. The letter states that al :.
convention he was carried away by the
enthusiasm OF. the moment and hedecid-
ed to accept. After taking the endless
abuse he has been subjected to by TIE
press, for years, which he bore with
comparative exuanimity and because of
personal honor had never attacked;
but now, being
ACCUSED OF BETRAYING FRIENDS,
the situation was unbearable and life was
too short in which to undertake to set
himself right; and after declaring that,
knowing well the consequence of the
action which would be to forever bar
him from future political honors, he
must irrevocably withdraw his name
from the head of the ticket. The
mayor says: The confidential adviser
in Chicago of the President of tie
United States, has taken the public
position that | should be defeated in the
interest OF the national administration.
The three newspapers which are the
organs of the President in Chicago have
ATTACKED NE VIOLENTLY
since my nomination, and urged my de-
feat. This convinces me that the Presi-
dent of the United States does not desire
me to be elected. 1, therefore, respectfully
suggest that you call into consultation
with you the gentlemen who are known
to be the advisers here of the Federal
administration, and nominate ticket
which will command their support" 81
The charge of treachery made in the
letter has reference TO Dewitt G..
Cregier. former city superintendent OF
public works, and who was urged for
nomination upon the theory that Bar-
rison
WOULD NOT ACCEPT ANOTHER NOMINATION.
What course the Democratic party
will now pursue is not stated. Some OF
the party men declare that Harrison
cannot resign now. and will run to
make the race. while others intimate
that new men will be named.
